Tabac Blond by Caron

Tabac Blond is not discontinued; it's just only available now in the EDP from the urns at the Caron boutiques:

I would go further than saying this is unisex--it is of course very sensual on the right woman, but it is a classic gentleman's scent for autumn. Made for damp leaves and tweed (or black tie and Plymouth martinis), and just as sexy, if the responses I've received from women are any indication, on a man. I know several men of taste who wear it in season. It's too heavy for warm weather, which also brings out the sweetness too much, but in the right circumstances it is simply without peer. In very cold weather I shift to Bel Ami by Hermes, which in absolute terms can't challenge TB, but whose spice notes create a compelling feeling of warmth for wearer and intimate both.
